Pence has not ruled out 25th Amendment, source says
CNN ^ | January 9, 2021 | By Jim Acosta and Pamela Brown

Posted on 01/09/2021 8:04:52 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Vice President Mike Pence has not ruled out an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment and wants to preserve the option in case President Donald Trump becomes more unstable, a source close to the vice president says.

The source said there is some concern inside Pence's team that there are risks to invoking the 25th Amendment or even to an impeachment process, as Trump could take some sort of rash action putting the nation at risk.

As of Saturday evening, Trump and Pence still have not spoken since the Wednesday incursion at the US Capitol that left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer, another source told CNN. The President has also not made any public comments denouncing death threats that have been posted on social media targeting Pence.

What crossed my mind, of course it is all speculation, is why Trump went down to Texas to stay at an Air Force Base down there. Could it be that he is concerned that some of these corrupt crooks may try to take him out because he may have the “GOODS” on many of them and is in the process of going public with them. Just another reason why they are trying to shut him up at any cost.

If any member of Congress attempts to impeach Trump, they shall themselves be tried for treason. Because we the people now have tons of evidence on these people of their lies.

They have committed treason in our election and now in their phony, staged set-up at the Capitol.

They weren’t counting on Trump supporters to be so savvy smart, take photos and video of Antifa, who can be identified by face recognition, nor were they counting on Antifa and BLM folk to be so sloppy...taking photo ops and videos of being let into the building.

It’s all on video.

Some people in high places are going down. Count on it.

Pray for it.

Have faith in God and pray for America and President Trump and his family.

I know!

Trump wants to get close to the border so he can cross over and run to become THEIR El Presidente!

They love him there and he could run the country the way he wants and take back Texas!

Texas Radio and the Big Beat, Art Bell, Jeff Rense, they ain’t nothing compared to MY sources!

Absolutely. Trump should be at an undisclosed location, it he’s not there already.

I’ve been saying for the last 3 years that these people will do whatever it takes to defeat Trump. Nothing is off the table.

Pence is a puke. I know CNN is fake news but he could easily publicly reject this. That he doesn’t says it all

No, it wouldn’t. It would be career suicide for Pence to pull this stunt to deprive Trump of a few days in office in exchange for (ultra) brief plaudits from the left.

Fake News, coming from PeePeePants Acosta—so you know it’s fake!

Pence may be a weasel, but he isn’t a retard. He understands the 25th Amendment, and it’s exclusively for medical incapacitation. It’s an absolute nonstarter. Pence has said NO to the 25th Amendment, at least two days ago. Only deranged dumb@ss Rats are talking about it.

Poor Little Jimmy Pee Pee Pants! What will he do when he can’t lie and make sh*t up about Trump every day?

I believe that Pence has been the Deep State pipeline of information at the top level for 4 years now.

Pence hasn’t taken Trump’s calls, and was filing lawsuits to oppose Gohmert and others without consulting Trump.
